a good day






For the most part a really good day. I picked up cash from the Sweet Victory resale shop where I dropped off left over garage sale items. It's a sweet deal-I made $48 on a few items that I could not sell at two garage sales. We then went to the library and both girls went to the children's area and sat and looked at books and each of them chose a book to check out. We took the girls to the Hamburger Inn for lunch. Schwen has officially arrived in Delaware since she's been to the HI! Jia had a birthday party and Schwen seemed to do ok with dropping her off but had the big melt down when we got home and it took Adam a little while to settle her down. I wanted him to do so b/c she has been attached to me like velcro.

After dinner the girls headed upstairs for more dress-up. This is the third night in a row and Schwen is like a kid in a candy store. The first pic of her in the Belle costume was taken last night. The other pics were taken tonight. She loves dressing up and looking in the full length closet door mirrors and strutting around like a model. The girls also watched a video of Ni Hau Little Friends and it was really fun to watch Schwen and Jia sing along with the songs. Schwen was clearly familiar with the songs on the video.

We have an outing with the Pengyou Pals,(a social group of girls their age adopted from China), on Sunday and have been invited to a cook out of friends/neighbors from church. They have chickens and horses and cats. Schwen and I stopped by for a visit the other day and she was totally fascinated with the chickens.

Jackie,
It sounds like all is going very well for all of you! I really enjoy reading how all of you are doing. Even though we will have a much greater age difference, it is still encouraging to read the stories and see the photos! What a blessing for both girls to have each other!
